During the course of 2022, JCM identified children within the Hawa community whose guardians were willing to send them to school. The cohort identified was comprised of 57 boys and 31 girls of primary school-going age (4–14 years). 

JPL’s CSR Manager identified an abandoned school building in close proximity to the community, which could be renovated and re-established as a school. In 2023, the building was refurbished, and the Jan Muhammad Khaskheli Primary School was officially opened in September. JCM’s contribution towards the opening of the school includes the full-time employment of a teacher, the provision of all necessary furniture, equipment and materials for the school and providing uniforms to the 40 enrolled students (23 boys and 17 girls).

As with the other two schools that we support in the region, this school will be fully funded by JCM and our investment partners.
